Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:

Lily Sanctuary is a 501c3 sanctuary for unwanted parrots who rehabilitates sanctuaries and rehomes the adoptable parrots. Parrots, more often than not, outlive their owners and the need to rehome them is a common problem parrot purchasers don't often think about. Our 100% volunteer staff provides quality food, housing and vet care completely from donations caring people gift us. Our adoption program serves all residents within a 60 mile radius of Fountain Valley California. This is so the adopters can get to know the parrots and we can conduct a home visit.

About Our
Rescue
Group:

The Lily Sanctuary is named after an umbrella cockatoo that had a serious, life threatening disease and was not going to live past her 1st birthday, but with the appropriate vet care and a lot of love made it to 21 years before, sadly, she passed away. She was a miracle bird and the sanctuary founder Venette Hill started helping out homeless parrots from then on. She made it a 501c3 in 2003 and transformed her home into parrot sanctuary. She is fastidiously clean and most of all, speaks fluent "parrot!" They love her and get a chance to heal and grow there, and the adoptable ones get another chance to have a family again.

Come Meet our Pets:

We are a closed facility for the safety and health of the resident parrots. All incoming parrots are quarantined and tested for avian viruses before they are introduced to the rest of the flock, and all visitors need to make an appointment to see them. We have photos of most of the adoptable parrots on the Petfinder.com site which is updated frequently. The Lily Sanctuary, with some birds in tow also frequents several adoption fairs and events in Orange County Ca, and attend at the O.C Pet Expo every year in May.

Our Adoption Process:

Our adopters must LOVE parrots! Go to www.lilysanctuary.org to see all the details. We have different adoption donation fees for different size parrots, and the application to adopt is online, interactive and will be responded to within 48 hours of sending. As stated above, the 60 mile radius from Fountain Valley (some exceptions occur and are based on experience of the adopter) is for adopters to get to know their parrot before they take them home for the comfort, security and an easier transition of the bird, and the home checks we do for all adopters.

Our Adopted Pets:

birds can make wonderful pets, and rather than buying a bird for sale or finding a bird breeder, adopting a bird from
an animal shelter or rescue organization is the perfect way to add a bird to your family.
Keep in mind, there is a lot you will need to know when you provide a home for
a bird. You will need to learn what to feed them, how much exercise or
attention your bird needs, and many other important things about how to
house and care for a bird. There are different types of birds
including African Grey, Amazon, Brotogeris, Budgie, Button Quail, Caique, Canary, Chicken, Cockatiel, Cockatoo, Conure, Dove, Duck, Eclectus, Emu, Finch, Goose, Guinea Fowl, Kakariki, Lorikeet, Lovebird, Macaw, Mynah, Ostrich, Parakeet - Other, Parakeet - Quaker, Parrot - Other, Parrotlet, Peacock, Pheasant, Pigeon, Pionus, Poicephalus (including Senegal and Meyer's), Quail, Rhea, Ringneck, Rosella, Softbill - Other, Swan, Toucan, and Turkey.
